Tropical Cuisine - Tampa

I have been here lots of times. All the food is great and they have a empanada special no one can beat! Everyone is so friendly singing and smiling with great prices.Food: 5/5

First time coming here. There is an overpowering smell of bleach as soon as you come in. The rice in the Moro de guandules was hard and grainy. The lady seemed to have an attitude for absolutely no reason. The chicken and yuca tasted good. I would come back to try other items on the menu if I'm in the area.Food: 4/5

I've been visiting this place for almost a year from Monday to Friday. The food is good but, I have noticed that in recent days they have less staff and the waiting time is much longer than before. The service of the few that have is excellent, but those who only have half an hour for lunch lose it waiting. I think that before it was much faster because they had more people working. They need to have more staff to serve because the few that there are are not enough to get out quickly.

I ordered a chicken plate with rice and plantains and a press Cuban. They had me pay for it before the Cuban was made. Then gave me Cuban toast said they didn't have the stuff to make a Cuban sandwich and just stared at me when I asked how they were going to fix it. I told them again it's not what I ordered I ordered a Cuban sandwich again they just stared at me. By the way the chicken is very dry the yellow rice has no flavor the plantains are very good. Good luck everyone if you don't speak Spanish.

I really love this place for lunch. Fast service but the good stuff runs out so get there early. Simple order method with juice and sandwich bar. Good place to eat and even better to get a refreshing drink. Lunch time rush is a bit hectic though.
